The Return - Part Deux

 

Yes, that was a barely-veiled nod to "Hot Shots - Part Deux."  I have no idea why that reference popped into my head.

For those of you who do not have the hyper-Googling thing going on (bythelbs read about the song in the post, looked it up, and found it before I even had a chance to locate the thing online yesterday!), the song I was referring to is here.  I have no idea if I'd find it so compelling had I not seen dance choreographed to it.

Anyway, another bit of randomness pulled from an e-mail yesterday:

Btw, did you know that spell-check recognizes "Wal-Mart"?  I had taken the lazy route and just typed "Walmart"... I usually don't bother spell-checking, but "guttural" looked weird so I ran it, and what did it pick up on?  "Dustbunnies" (it prefers "dust bunnies") and "Walmart."  Yeesh. 

What has our society come to?  Spell-check has an entry for Wal-Mart.  And no, this is not one of those where I added the word - I never (ok, well, this one time) use spell-check, much less add words to it.  I should add that just for giggles and grins I ran Xanga's spell-check on this post, and it does not recognize "Wal-Mart" (nor, apparently, "I'd" or "spell-check," ironically enough).  It also does not recognize or offer alternatives for "dustbunny."  I just thought you'd want to know.

Wow that was quiet a lesson in spell checking, haha.  My husband has it set up so that everything I type in my browser (not the one I can xanga in, of course) gets automatically spell checked!  Whoo hoo!

Believe it or not, I actually like to talk about things like spell check. Because I am, inside somewhere, a frustrated writer/editor. Dusting some bunnies myself, Lisa

@PrincessBrideJo - Funny how there doesn't seem to be a 'standardized' spell-checker - you get used to one and then another one nabs you!

@kamomlisa - HA HA, me, too!  I always always always notice the random (frequent) typos in business signs, mailers, ads, news headlines (Fox News once had a segment about a local fire "chef" - I'm wondering if their editor was on vacation because I swear, there were like 3 other typos that night).  I've always kind of thought being an editor would be a great job, as long as I only had to read stuff I liked (which is probably reason #1 I'm NOT an editor - LOL).

You'll love this- the Las Vegas paper had a huge headline in their "Nevada" section that said "Hoards" were buying, but disavowing use of, fireworks. Um, that would be HORDES, ladies and gentlemen. Heh. I did think of you! :)
